YES, WE CAN

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant... We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea.

YES WE CAN

A mí me parece una idea genial la que se le ocurrió al lider de Black Eye Peas, después de esuchar el emotivo dircurso que pronunció Obama en New Hampshire el pasado 8 de enero, tras perder las primarias de ese Estado frente a Hillary Clinton. Obama en lugar de atacar a su rival tras perder en aquel Estado, lanzaba un discurso cargado de esperanza: "Yes, we can".
Lo bueno de ser famoso es que es fácil convencer a otros famosos para participar en proyectos propios. William habló con las actrices Scarlett Johansson y Amber Valletta, con el rapero Common, con la estrella del baloncesto Kareem Abdul-Jabbar y con una larga lista de celebridades y con Jesse Dylan, el hijo del mítico Bob Dylan, al mando como director.
Yo personalmente no me canso de escucharla...
